The church was bustling with people. There were smile in everyone's face. Only a girl in the blue dress was standing alone in one corner of the church.
Viviana was watching the couple were taking vows. It was William Smith's wedding with her elder sister Ellie. Viviana loved this man from a long time. He was sisters classmate. She always loved him silently, never dared to confess her felling. Because he was her sister's love. She was always the third wheel.
A little smile curved into her face. It's time to say goodbye to the old feelings.
Viviana came out from the church. The church was inside the forest. She was walking through the forest path.
The rain started suddenly. It was always like this. Whenever she is sad it happens to be rain. She remembered the day when her mother died. She was crying miserably at the cemetery. That day reined too.
viviana suddenly bumped into a man. His hair was messy, thik layer of beard was covering his face, a bunch of paper was in his hand. Seems like he is an artist.
The thing caught her eyes was the umbrella. A canary sitting in brunch just like her mom painted. Isn't it the umbrella which she lost in the cemetery.
..................
Joseph become an artist. But never forgot the girl whom he met at the cemetery.
The day he was visiting his grandparents tomb, he saw that girl. She was holding an umbrella tears were visible on her face. He was lost in her beauty. It was the love at first sight.
She was drenched in rain and was crying miserably, seeing this his heart pricked in pain.
As the time passed the cemetery become deserted again.
Only the umbrella was left there alone.
.................
Joseph was keeping the umbrella close to his heart all this years. And keeping her in his painting. He painted her in every way he wanted to see her.
When he saw her walking on muddy path he bumped into her intentionally. He didn't wanted to miss this chance of touching her. Her hand rubbed with his.
They met again. It was like destiny. He knows they will meet again and that time he won't let her go.
.................
Two months later,
VICTORIA EXHIBITION HALL
A big painting was hanging on the wall. It was very eye catching that the people were hobbling there. A girl was holding an umbrella by standing at cemetery, the name of the painting was "The lost Umbrella". One girl was looking at the picture with shocked face. It was Viviana. She read the name of the painter "Joseph Decuza".
"Miss, like the painting?"... a deep husky voice came from the back.
A face covered with beard was looking at her. It was the man from that day. She didn't forget him, he had the same umbrella as her mother.
" Are you the painter Joseph?"....she asked.
"Yea".... a smile peeked through his beard.
"So it was my umbrella, can you give it back? It was my mother's last token"....she said.
If I give it back to you, will you marry me?... he smiled again.
She was surprised.
The man said....
"I liked you no loved you from the first time I saw you and you become the inspiration of my painting, Miss I am rich and honsome, you won't regret marrying me".
She can't help but laugh. She doesn't sure about the handsomeness thing, but who proposes someone this way.
It was raining again.
He took out the umbrella and said...
"Miss why don't we go for a date".
Viviana looked at him with a smiley face.
"Why not".......
.................
Viviana was sitting on Joseph's lap burring her head in his chest. It was raining outside. The two year old little boy was sleeping peacefully on the bed. The room was filled with Viviana's portrait.
"Darling why are looking at me"...Joseph asked.
"You are really handsome"... she laughed.
He was hiding such hansome face under those beards and messy hair.
He looked at her.Their eyes drowned into each other, Slowly their lips crushed together. The kiss became deeper.
The sound of their heart and sound of the rain got mixed with each other as their heart became together for eternity..........
